THE TIMES4OURNAL.
GETTYSBURG THIRTY
EIGHT YEARS AFTER.
Having recently returned from
the battlefield of Gettysburg,
and thinking the readers of the
Times-Journal might enjoy a
communication, have decided to
communicate. So much has
been said and written about this
great battle, it is hardly possible
that I can say anything new or
interesting. The battlefield of
Gettysburg is a general term,
embracing the village of Gettys
burg, and that portion of the
surrounding country occupied by
the contending armies during the
battle, the operations covering
twenty-five square miles. From
the best authorities Gen. Lee had
less than sixty thousand men of
all arms, while Gen. Meade had
one hundred and five thousand,
one hundred thousand of which
were on the ground. For three
days these one hundred and six
ty thousand men contested in
desperate and deadly struggle
for supremacy. Tactically it
was a drawn battle. Strategi
cally a Confederate defeat. It is
ranked among the world’s great
battles. There are spots of the
earth’s surface over v’hich the
angel of death seems to hover—
of these ie the toiyn of Gettys
burg, Pa. Unknown in the
month of June, 1863, but in
July famous as was that other
insignificant hamlet, Waterloo in
1815. Gettysburg, Gettysburg;
that is the ery which has escaped
from many a bleeding heart; and
the hearts which have bled most
have been Southern hearts. For
here, was not only the mot!
precious blood of the South pour
ed out like water—here the fate
of the great sovereignties was
decided Here was the real end
of the great struggle, not at Ap
pomattox. Let us be under
itood. Lee’s army was not
whipped or shattered. In July
as in June, Lee had an army
and a Dowerful and unbroken
one. The old veterans of the
Army of Northern Virginia could
stand more than Gettysburg, and
the proof is that after the battle.
Gen. Meade, the great com
mander of the Union army, kept
beyond its sweep. The Army of
Northern Virginia could not be
mtgeneraled nor whipped. It
was only the impossible that the
old veterans could not overcome.
Gen. Grant had the right theory
when he said “that Lee’s army
could only be crushed by hard
and continuous blows.” To at
tain that end he had only to
‘’hammer continuously.” When
Gen. Meade at the wilderness
spoke of maneuvering for posi
tion, Grant replied, “OI never
maneuver.” That was the thing
in a nut-sh ill, as the whole cam
paign alter that proved. The
Army of Northern Virginia wa
ihus in Grant’s estimation a
body of men whom he could not
intimidate; Gen. Lee a com
mander wh >m he could not out
general, He would shatter that
army by simple brute force —by
the sheer weight of his gigantic
sledge hammer, “hammering
continuously.” History no
where exhibits or records a more
obstinate combativeness, a more
inexorable will, a more daring
courage than Lee and his sol
diers‘possessed. Tne Army of
Nort iern Virginia never suffered
a crushing defeat in a single
pitched battle. It held its orig
inal p ait on at Gettysburg, all
night 1 f the 3rd of July, after the
failure of Pickett’s charge, an 1
waited all the 4th for Meade to
attick. Lee remained north of
the Potomac for ten days after,
and despite the dispatches from
Washington urging Meade to
drive his adversary into the riv
er, it was decided by a council
of war that it would not be pru
dent to make the attempt, even
after reenforcements had come
to his assistance. Lee lost at
Gottysburg twenty thousand
men killed and wounded and
missing. Meade lost over three
thousand men killed outright to
say nothing of the wounded and
captured, which was enormous.
There nearly four hundred
mon imencs erected upon differ
ent parts of the battlefield, ag
gregated to cost in the neighbor
hood of one million dollars. Maj.
Gen. J. F. Reynolds, command
ing the first corps of the Fed
eral army, was killed on the first
day by Ewell’s men, about six
hundred yards due west of the
Seminary. The grove where he
fell is now called ‘‘Reynold’s
Grove,” and is marked by a fine
monument to his memory. Due
north of this grove is a railroad
cut. Between the banks of this
I cut, the 2nd Miss. Reg. was cap
| tured. At Oak Hill, about three
ihundnd yards northwest of the
cut is where Iverson’s North
। Carolina brigade was captured.
lAt this point there was desper
ate fighting for two hours or
more, resulting in heavy Ijssjs

on both sides, the Federate final
ly giving way, Ewell’s troops
driving them back through and
beyond the town, the Union
troops being badly defeated, los
ing over six thousand men. Just
at this point several costly mon ।
uments are erected. Culp’s
Hill is situated one mile east of
the town, and was the scene of
hard fighting during the evening
of the 2nd and morning ot the
3rd by Gen. Ewell’s corps. The
trees on the eastern slope show
plainly the marks of bullets af
ter thirty-eight years have el p
sed. At Cemetery Hill,on Ewell's
line of battle occurred the dead
ly hand to hand struggle between
Hays Louisiana brigade and
Ricketts artillerymen, the even
ing of July 2nd, situated between
Gettysburg and Culp’s Hill.
Here at this point is a fine monu
ment erected to the memory of
Gen Meade. Round Top—this'
strateg'c point is located about
two miles south of town, and is
where Hood and McLaw’s divis
ions of Longstreet’s corps wen
thrown in on the evening of th
2niof July. McLaw’s, on thi
left of Hood’s, occupying wha;
is known as the wheat field, 01
“Loop.” These two divisions
of Longstreet’s corps fought,
the 2nd, 3rd and sth corps.
Williams division of the 12th
corps and two brigades of the
11th corps, numbering in all
about sixty thousand. Later in
the evening the 6th corps reliev
ed the sth corps, and yet Long
street’s, with Hood and McLaw’s
divisions, numbering twenty
thousand, pushed the enemy
back for over a mile, almost
reaching the crest of “Little
Round Top.” —say within less
than une hundred yards of the
coveted point. The only thing
that saved it to the Federate was
the fact that Vincent’s brigade of
fresh troops arrived some ten
minutes before. Here at this
point ie what is called “Devil’s
Den,” over which the Third
Ark. Reg. with the Tex. brigade
fought. Just before reaching
this, ie where the writer received
a wound which temporarily
placed him on the retired list.
He was able with the assistance
of a guide to locate this spot.
How I wished that the survivors
of the old 3rd Ark. Reg. were
standing along with me, that
they might look over this valley
of death over which they came,
where a thousand or more were
killed, not to mention the
wounded. Here on this line are
many of the finest monuments.
On “Little Round- Top” is a
tower from which we can see for
miles, and take in the battle
field at a glance. From this
point can be seen Seminary
Ridge, along which, on the 3rd
of Jul'’,Gen,Lee planted one hun
d? a 1 forty-five pieces of can
non iu hurl their missies of death
across the valley, the Federate
replying from Cemetery Ridge
with eighty pieces. For two
hours or more these two hundred
and twenty-five cannon tore the
air with their harsh thunder, and
w s pror ou i ied by old veterans
to be the m st terrific and pro
longed cannonade they had ever
heard, one possibly seldom par
alleled. The Federal fire slack
ens. Pickett’s division of Vir
ginians are seen to mo/e from
Seminary Ridge across the val
ley of death, supported by Petti
grew and Wilcox. The two ar
mies looked on, holding their
breath. Old soldiers hardened
in the fire of battle, lean forward
with fiery eyes. Suddenly the
Federal artillery opens again and
the ranks are swept from end to
end by round shot, shell and oan
nister. Bloody gaps are seen,
but the men close up and ad
vance slowly, as before. Three
hundred yards from the slope the
c inflict bursts forth. The thun
d <r o.' the artillery is succeeded
hy the crash of musketry. Be
fo -e th s fire the troops of Petti
g-i v n elt away. It sweeps them
as d-y leaves are swept by the
w nd. Tne brave Pettigrew falls
as he waves his sword. In the
sac i of the concentrated fire of
infantry forming the Federal
c inier, they ascend the slope,
rush to the-breast works, storm
them, stick their bayonets into
the retreating foe. They are
torn to pieces, but they have car
tie 1 the works. Alas! it is only j
the first line. Beyond are other
breastworks—other- lines which
were too much for them. Pick

of Gettysburg was decided.
“The old guard dies, it does not
surrerder. ” I would that ev
ery survivor of Lee’s army could
visit Gettysburg, as it is impossi
ble to convey by moans of wor.ds
an idea of the wonderful battle
put up by the Confederates
against such odds, both as re
gards numbers and position.
It is easy to tell where the troops
of both armies were posted. Tab
lets are arranged to show where
each brigade enteredof each army
and where they advanced or fell
back. One must stand in a place
like this to realize how men suf
fered and died for what they be
lieved to be right.

Last week's Gazette.
A corps of surveyors left Lit
tle Rock yesterday morning to
lay out the route for the Choc
taw from this city to Malvern to
connect with their recent acqui
sition, the Diamond Joe line. It
te understood that the Choctaw
some time ago m‘ade an offer for
cnat portion of the Fordyce road
between Little Rock and Benton,
but that it was refused, so they
will have to build the entire dis
tance from Little Rock to Mal
vern.
It was stated yesterday that
the right of way will be secured
as fast as the ;oute is surveyed,
and grading will begin in a
month, tracklaying to follow as
soon as possible. It is claimed
that the Choctaw will be running
trains into Hot Springs from
Little Rock over its own rails by
December Ist. 1901. Then will
come the fast service which the
Choctaw has long been promis
ing. A service of five hours
from Memphis to Hot Springs is
on the board, the train to make
but two stops en route—at Little
Rock and Brinkley. About three
and < ne half hours is figured from
Memphis to Little Rock, and one
and one half hours from Little
Robk to Hot Springs.

S. J. Wright, a member of the
Paris. Choctaw and Little Kock
By. Co., of Paris, Tex,, ac
companied by W, D. Howard,
also of that place, and W. D.
Brown of Galveston, were in
Mena, Ark., several days ago
for the purpose of conferring
and looking over the situation in
a personal way, regarding the
prospects for an east and west
i through line of railway from
Paris, Tex., to Memphis, Tenn.,
via Mena, Hot Springs and Lit
tle Rock.
In conference with some of the
business men Mr. Wright stated
that the company he was inter
ested in had secured the right of
way for a road from Paris to the
'Red river, had gotten a bill
' through congress authorizing the
construction of a bridge over the
river and right to build through
Indian territory, and had re
cently arranged to float their
bonds and to procure money with
which to commence work. He
desired and expected the hearty
00-operation ei the people ol Me-
na and Hot Springs in this enter
prise, believing it to be of vast
importance, as it would open up
for development a territory rich
in timber, coal, slate and miner
al, as well as agricultural pro
ducts.
West of Mena, in the territory,
beds of coal are known to exist,
while east of Mena is unlimited
quantities of the very beet qual
ity of elate, several quarries now
being opened and roofing elate
being manufactured for the mar
kets .
These gentlemen were given to
understand that Mena would do
ail she could to help them in the
enterprise.
